"The author has provided a service for the Church
both on the technical level by proposing a convincing retranslation of
this difficult text, and on the practical level by alerting us to the
potential abuse of the Biblical text that could lead us to inappropriate
conclusions about how we should approach God and what we should expect
from Him."

"Larry Pechawer is the 'Grinch' that stole the
'Christmas of Jabez'. For many who have jumped on the wagon of the Prayer
of Jabez, this small book is a necessary corrective to an unfortunate
Jabez fascination with some unfortunate Biblical interpretations. I heartily
agree with and endorse the author's 'Bah Humbug' as well as his enlightening
new interpretation."

DR. STEPHEN M. HOOKS, Professor of Old Testament and Hebrew, Atlanta Christian College

"Larry, I think you are on to something. Your proposal makes a great deal of sense and helps the text fit better into the context of 1 Chronicles 4. It makes more sense from the cultural and sociological setting as well."
